Test Cases

name: Test Cases
description: Structured scenarios that verify software functionality by defining inputs, execution conditions, and expected results to ensure quality and correctness. Test cases are the fundamental units of software testing that document what needs to be tested, the conditions under which the test runs, and the expected outcomes. They are widely used across manual testing, automated testing, and API testing workflows.
